It provides seven digital inputs, including HDMI ARC, and an eight-channel, 32-bit DAC operating in Quad Balanced mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Model Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module lets a compatible component gain newer digital capabilities while keeping its existing analog and amplification sections. HDMI ARC receives audio from a compatible television, while USB supports PCM up to 32-bit\/384kHz, DSD512, and DXD384kHz. McIntosh lists MA9000, MA8900, MA7200, MA5300, MAC7200, C49, and C8 among compatible upgrade models. The actual unit’s existing module must be checked: some current product pages now specify DA2 as standard.
